What's the use of a projects wizard ?

Answer : it helps you !

If you want to be able in a few mouse clicks, and without having to read 194 pages of documentation, to create, for example, a video wall, then I bet you will enjoy the projects wizard.
Indeed, you just have to choose among five different types of projects one that interests you and then let yourself be guided by the software to make your project from A to Z project.

The five types of projects available from the wizard are :

one of many models already created by proDAD

animate an object on a path

create a videowall

create a slideshow

handwriting

How to execute the wizard ?

Answer : the procedure is extremely complex !

open the software

... do nothing more since the first thing that appears is the projects wizard. Magic, right?

There is another way : every time you ask Heroglyph to create a new project the projects wizard window will display.

How does it work ?

Immediately a window displays where all available videowalls models are presented. I choose the Puzzle category and Classic : 5 5. This corresponds to a 5 pieces high puzzle by 5 pieces wide :

Note that one of the new features announced in my intro was real time preview. Clicking on a model and you get a small window that opens with an animation that shows in real time how will behave the video wall :

By clicking the right edge of the 5x5 a window lets yYou can even make it rectangular :

Let's turn to the project settings by clicking Next.

How to set the videowall ?

Everything (or almost) will be done from this window :

With a simple drag n drop or by pressing Add image / video you insert the photo or video to be displayed in the puzzle.

The Texture tab dropdown menu lets you decide if the puzzle should respect the original video Aspect Ratio or not :

The Style tab allows you to choose from many styles of puzzle pieces :

Again the real time preview will show you the result of your choice.

The Animation tab will allow you to determine the total duration of the video wall display :

The wall can be with or without animation :

If you choose with animation you can request a continuous animation or an in/out animation. Each time, a list of animation models is offered with real time preview :

We have a mention of it in our proDAD FAQ, and the information is also on the proDAD website (I just added it to our proDAD news as well - hard to do better than that, we will not repeat the specifications in each tutorial).

John, you might try to ask a refund to Element5, but I doubt it's easy, since the information is clearly written everywhere. Nice try anyway...
